Hey all, been a while....
Can X4 natively export to PDF?

Yes and there are issues for different work flows. For example power clipped duotones shift to RGB, native color PDF creates a color shift to RGB when output to Onyx and VersaWorks RIPS. Metadimentions has trapping issues with transparency when published from Corel but not from Distiller.
Also, you can't use te imposition and other features of the Print preview for create a PDF using Publish to PDF. If you need it, you must create a Postscript file and convert to PDF using Acrobat Distiller
Hiiii Ariel, Happy to see you in this thread , thank you for your help. I was a bit afraid because this has arrived on 2 of my jobs (different printers) and I thought it could be a catastrophe for me. The plugin EnfocusPitStop is an interresting plugin that I didn't knew. Do you think it can keep the integrity of the colors ? What do you do with?

Pitstop does not keep the information, is a software for diagnose and editing the PDF files. For example, you can change a CMYK color to Pantone, or a RGB bitmap to CMYK or grayscale, delete portions of the contents, and much more. But Pitstop does not improve the contents, only change something if you decide to change it. Anyway, it's a good program to be able to diagnose errors and to find problems
Ha Ok, Good soft anyway ! I discover something great today, did you know Ariel that it's possible to vectorize the fonts that are included into a PDF file? With Acrobat Pro 8 or 9 only (maybe 7, I don't know), It's possible ! just have to integrate any filigrane (other pdf file) to generate transparency in the background.Once done, it's activate a tool : going in advanced options, print, flatened view, and then check "vectorize all the text". It's a bit complicated (I don't know why Adobe didn't a simpler way for this) but very efficient when you have a customer who hadn't given his fonts.thank you for your advises...
If the fonts are included ("embedded") in the PDF file, there is no needed to vectorize the fonts (convert to outilnes = convert to curves). All that you need is included in the PDF. If you have created the PDF from CorelDRAW using "PDF for pre-press" or "PDF X/3", you will not have problems
Anyway, you can also use Pitstop to convert text to curves
